🌱 Love Loops™ Worksheets
Free Tools for Emotional Growth, Connection, and Rebuilding
Life doesn’t always fall apart loudly.
Sometimes it changes quietly — after a move, a breakup, burnout, healing, or simply realizing you’ve outgrown the life you were living.
Love Loops™ worksheets are gentle, evidence-informed tools designed to help you:
reconnect with yourself
regulate your nervous system
rebuild trust, community, and belonging
practice emotional growth at your own pace
These worksheets are used in therapy, coaching, groups, and personal reflection — and are offered here freely, because emotional skill-building should be accessible to everyone.
🌀 What Are Love Loops™?
Love Loops™ is a trauma-informed framework created by Registered Psychotherapist Darren Elliott as part of The Narcissism Recovery Project™.
The core idea is simple:
We repeat what we don’t repair.
Fear creates loops of withdrawal, self-doubt, and isolation.
Love Loops™ are small, repeatable practices that rebuild:
safety
self-trust
empathy
connection
One moment at a time. One relationship at a time.
